View 1 RepliesThe following website appears to show you you might do Drag/Drop that works like explorer does but I don't know what the code would be in VB, what exactly i'd need or anything else. It's a quite large code base just to make it so you get the same effect as explorer even though it seems to be API's or .dll's that should handle most of the work.
If the API's & .dll's available for this don't handle most of it I don't see why not because well if your meant to get the same effect why is it going to be handled mostly by code? I would think it would be as easy as passing an image or file/folder as string & then there the image is & possibly the functions you want to be allowed or text to be displayed for the drag action & then a little more to determine where your trying to drag to so what the text should be changing to.
Anyways heres the website which has a lot of the information/code in non-vb language, even when translated to VB using online tools I couldn't figure out what did what or what pieces I needed to get a basic drag action to work that has said visual information like explorer does.[URL]..
I am trying to figure out a way to include the listview's tag field when dragging one listview's subitems into another listview. I am hoping someone here has experience with this. My Listview drag code is below - the two listviews that I am dragging subitems into or from are LV1 and LV3. Also, this is being done in Visual Basic 2008 and the project is a windows application.

View 5 RepliesIs there a way to drag and drop items like vista where it creates a "ghost" of the icon and text at the cursor position? Like a slightly transparent copy of the item being dragged with the mouse until it is dropped?
View 6 Repliesfaster way to enumerate through a directory and sub-folders to gather all the files in the enumeration? This is what I have right now:
Public Shared allFiles() As String
allFiles = Directory.GetFiles(<ServerLocation>, "*.*", SearchOption.AllDirectories)
EDIT: I am enumerating these files from a server location. I don't know if that will change the perspective of this question or not.
I'm able to drag and drop a node. The treeview is loaded with files and folders on the HD. The tag of the node has the path to the file/folder. [code] I only want to be able to drag a node into a folder and not into a file, as it does with this code.
View 1 RepliesIn my current project I've run into a problem with dragging and dropping from my app to Windows Explorer. My app requires an "Extraction" of a virtual file (almost like a ZIP/RAR archiver would). The problem is, with all of the dragging to explorer solutions I have found online requires you to have a extracted file already on the filesystem (most likely in a temp folder) before you initiate the drag-drop. I'm trying to do is be able to extract the file AFTER the drag-drop request has already been made to the explorer.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to implement a drag and drop operation in a listview (the listview is set for Details). The idea is to be able to allow the user to select one or more items and then "move" them elsewhere in the list.and modified it some because that example does the operation between two listviews, and here I am trying to do everything in the same one.Here's the code as I have it:
Private Sub ListView1_ItemDrag(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.ItemDragEventArgs) Handles ListView1.ItemDrag
Dim myItem As ListViewItem

May i know is there any methods apart from the method that i have to detect drag and drop buttons when u create them at run time?the code that i have is
For Each ctl As Control In PictureBox1.Controls
If TypeOf ctl Is BlinkButton Then
[code].....
i know is there any simpler ways of coding to enable the user to drag and drop button and this button will toggle the background color when the condition is true. So which means to say i need to know where can i place the main program code in the code block.There will also be a provision for the user to delete the button control at runtime.

In the attached program, I have 3 listviews.
1 is Source Invoices
2 and 3 is Customers.
When I drag something from ListView1 - it stays there, and turns a different color to show it has already been assigned. It stays in the list. This is what I want. When I drag something between 2 and 3, it should delete from the source and clone to the destination. It does this when I move 1 at a time, but if I select multiples (try 5 records) it does 3 of them, then the source list gets an error:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
If I highlight all 5 items in list 2 or 3 - then select the top item as the item to drag across, it seems to work.
If I highlight all 5 items in list 2 or 3 - then select the middle item as the item to drag across, it seems to NOT work.
I have tried going from top of list to bottom. Then thought, since I am deleting rows, maybe I should start at bottom and work up. Same thing?
I am trying to set up a listview where I can reorder the items, but no matter what I do the item i drag and drop goes to the end of the listview. I searched and tried to fix this issue but I just can't seem to find a fix.

View 1 RepliesThis is a little diffrent from your standard drag and drop, but I am trying to find out a way to support drag and drop, from a list control, which is displaying a list of files, held as "blobs" in a SQL database (compressed data in my own format). When the form is opened, I obtain a list of all the file names within that given table in the database, and display it to the user in the list view control. The user then has the option of dragging that ListItem from the ListView on to the dektop (or other directory location). Upon doing so, I need to be able to read the data from SQL, decompress the data (in my own format) and then save it as a file at the dropped location.
My main problem is detecting when the ListItem is dropped outside of my application, as I want to use this dropping event to trigger the code in to obtaining a copy of that file from the database, and save it in to the "dropped" directory, where ever that may be.
So Im mainly looking in to how I can "see" the final location where the item is dropped, and how I can start off the drag and drop operation in the first place with no initial data (since I have not obtained the file at the start of the operation). Getting the file at the start of the drag and drop operation intoduces "lag" while the application makes the trip to the SQL database (via web service) and obtains the data, so I need to carry out that trip to the database, at the end, while still allowing "Windows" to act as if I am dragging and dropping a file...
I did consider multi-theading, and downloaind the file from the database while the drag and drop operation is in progress, but then it becomes a race between the data being obtained from the database, and the user dropping the file.
Im using VS2005, SQL 2005 where the file is stored as a blog. SQL is on another PC running a web service which I interact with, to allow my application to talk to the database over both a LAN and WiFi via the internet. Compression and de-compression is handed at the client side application (for the file itself, in order to reduce the footprint created by the internet traffic) , where the user interface is displayed.

I use a .NET richtextbox and I want to have the EnableAutoDragDrop property set to True. This allows user to drag&drop text, rtf and images around etc. However, I need to process files dropped into the richtextbox myself - I do not want them to be embedded as OLE objects when they are dropped.
How can I overcome this? Is there any way to delete embedded files from richtextbox?
